The water rate structure is split between costs related to the purchase of wholesale water from the City
of Fort Worth, also called the “pass-thru,” and the cost of providing water services. Wholesale water
represents 31.5% of the Water and Wastewater Fund budget, and costs are anticipated to decrease
based upon both the five-year consumption model and Fort Worth decreasing costs by 8.79%. As such,
the pass-thru water rate will decrease for the year. The city rate will increase by 3.75%, which is related
to the high levels of precipitation in the spring and early summer of FY 2018-19 months. Even with the
city rate increase, the combined impact on the average household will be a 3.25% decrease, or a savings
of $2.56 per month.
